This bill would change title 54 of the United States Code by adding a new section (101513). The new section says that the law of the State where a "System unit" is located will apply to the use of motor vehicles on roads within that System unit. The bill says an "off-highway vehicle" is defined by the State. It defines "road" as the main-traveled surface of a roadway open to motor vehicles that is owned, controlled, or administered by the Service. The bill also says that violating a State law that applies under this section would be prohibited in the applicable System unit.
If this bill becomes law, State rules would govern how motor vehicles, including off-highway vehicles, are used on the kinds of roads described in the bill inside a "System unit." The exact scope of which vehicles are "off-highway vehicles" would follow the law of the State where the System unit is located. The bill text does not say how enforcement or penalties would be handled beyond saying violations of applicable State law would be prohibited in the System unit.
